'Like most Swedish bloggers I spend a lot of time on hemnet.se, the Swedish version of Zoopla. Only unlike its British counterpart, the property website is bursting with beautiful inspiring homes. The Scandi real estate world is the polar opposite of UK's, and if your home isn't already stunning, investing in home styling before you put your home on the market is imperative (you won't find any dodgy images on any Swedish estate agency websites). I've always loved to have a little snoop around other peoples homes as it is a great way of getting ideas for my own house. Interior design and decorating is a big part of the Scandinavian lifestyle and just by looking at homes that are for sale you will get a great insight to the latest Scandi trends', says Amanda.
